How do I make a neat corner with bias tape. Am making a Pirate costume for DGS and the edges need to be encased in double fold bias tape and to square the corners, and it shows a miter but offers no suggestions as to how to go about them. I'm must be too tired to figure it out. Any suggestions before I start pulling my hair out? I did a search of the boards and didn't find anything there. I going to do a google next. TIA

http://www.kayewood.com/tips.html Scroll about halfway down the page and you will see a heading "Perfect Miter Binding" or something to that effect with diagrams.

Thanks Patsy for the site. I also found the Wrights Tape site last night and it has quite a few ideas listed. I'm going to do some practicing today to see which is easier/nicer finish.
